I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.
Na i am good. I might be just a bartender, but I gave so much to become one of the best in my trade. Giving away that would mean giving away part of myself. I paid a high price to get where I am now and I am good damn proud of myself.
But if I had to I would want to git gud. Always wanted to be able to beat Dark Souls with ease.
I can whistle without moving my lips. I’d trade that for the ability to play football at a world competative level.
I am extremely focused on industrial electrical work as a career and have done it for about 12 years. To be quite honest, I can’t picture myself ever doing anything else.
As a hobby though, I love working with wood. I’ve been slowly building my new kitchen and enjoying it quite a bit. Woodworking may be in my future. A good friend of mine has a membership to a shop that’s close by
I’d trade 90’s computer skills for 90’s social skills. Because 90’s social skills are relevant today, while it’s been a while since I’ve had to resolve IRQ conflicts via jumpers. And switches no longer have a
Chasey Laindaisy chain port thanks to multiplexing.You’ve had a Lotta dick
Had a Lotta dick
I’ve had a Lotta time
I have a tangent related to 90’s social skills: I wish I had attended university before the high-speed internet era. We collectively replaced so much face-to-face interaction with stupid Flash games and scrolling ebaumsworld.
I’m with you.
I’ll trade my skill with DOS6.2 for the ability to fix my own car brakes. That’d be enough.
I need better emotional regulation. I wish I could just go “Yeah this is going to completely suck” and then get it done.
I’d trade my dick sucking skills for skill at playing guitar.
I feel like there’s got to be people out there that want the opposite trade.
“Being good at guitar doesn’t help me at all. Everyone hearing me play wants to suck my dick and not the other way around! 😩”
Anyway, here’s Wonderwall…
Like, is it really that great for boosting romantic success? I mostly just hear the roasting.
(If you want to make money at it or get famous, I can assure you skill isn’t a big part of the equation. I’ve been close enough to the industry to definitively say a lot gets fixed in post)
Have you tried taking up the (skin) flute?
The fact I played flute in 4th-6th grade makes me wonder if those skills just translated… 🤔
Based on what I know about flute embouchure, probably only. The receiving dick is quite small.
Now I’m gonna try to blow across someone’s meatus to see if I can make it whistle next time I go down.
Ironically enough, sounding would probably help
slide whistle sounds
I would trade my accumulated engineering training and skills in order to be a great musician. I’m done with office work, staring at a screen all day, and coming home mentally exhausted. I want to be able to go to a jam session and shred with the best.
Have you considered the possible financial implications of this? Playing music is great, but poverty isn’t.
That hits the nail on the head.
If you have a job like that, you have the money to get basically any gear and lessons you want!
I’m at a point in life where money isn’t the issue. The bottlenecks are always time and energy. Someday I’ll have time to focus on music (and skiing, and backpacking, and drawing, and …).
My skill at driving a car would be transformed into helicopter pilot. I hear they make good money and I can always get a motorcycle or take Uber.
I would trade all my skill and knowledge in history and geography for just being able to program in rust
Id probably trade my gaming skills for any sort of artistic skill. At least then I could be good at something that you can make an income from.
Not negating you, but if you are under any notion that art can sustain a living, especially in the current slop world, I have bad news for you 😬
Not sustain but at least provide something extra. The sort of thing where a couple of commissions might get you a pizza or some other treat that you couldn’t justify otherwise.
Grab gimp and start just editing pictures. I’ve made some cool stuff By combining photos tastefully or making album covers etc.
I’d trade the ability to pick up my underwear with my foot and toss it into the laundry hamper for invisibility.
I would trade my very limited woodworking skills for equally limited artistic skills of any type, ideally music related.
I would trade some other skills (really any pick) for extra house improvement skills. It’s not even that I’m bad at it, I’m just too nervous to fuck it up to even start…
Id trade the skill of knowing how many carbs are in any dish with the skill to naturally release insulin to process the carbs of any dish. Or am i trading a skill for a perk?
I would gladly change my math ability, that is small, for some musical ability, that is non existent.
Music isn’t magic, it’s not an innate talent, but rather a skill.
And like every skill, with time and practice and research, anyone could learn it.
Just not everyone’s got the time.
I’d trade in my excellent customer service skill for elite sniper skill. Can’t let Luigi have all the fun.
